Abstract

The propagation of electron plasma waves along a cylindrical plasma column in a strong magnetic field has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. The dispersion equation for such waves has been solved numerically where the plasma density profile is assumed to be either uniform or parabolic and the electron energy distribution Maxwellian. Dispersion curves have been computed for the m = 0 azimuthal mode and compared with experimental points obtained from a thermally ionized plasma in a strong magnetic field over the range of electron density 107-1010 cm-3.
